As the Chairman of the New York Post, I am ultimately responsible for what is printed in its pages. The buck stops with me.Gawker says, "Ha, this officially makes the New York Post a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys!" but we'll Photoshop Murdoch's face onto some surrender monkeys should he fire editor-in-chief Col Allan and the cartoonist, Sean Delonas.Last week, we made a mistake. We ran a cartoon that offended many people. Today I want to personally apologize to any reader who felt offended, and even insulted.
Over the past couple of days, I have spoken to a number of people and I now better understand the hurt this cartoon has caused. At the same time, I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you - without a doubt - that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation. It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by many as such.
We all hold the readers of the New York Post in high regard and I promise you that we will seek to be more attuned to the sensitivities of our community.
This follows the Post's quasi-apology, which said the paper was sorry for offending people except for "some in the media and in public life who have had differences with The Post in the past - and they see the incident as an opportunity for payback," referring to the Reverend Al Sharpton. Sharpton, who has held a number of protests about the cartoon and wants the FCC to investigate Murdoch's waiver to have multiple newspapers and TV stations in one city, has not commented about the News Corp. chairman's apology—yet. Update: Sharpton will be discussing Murdoch's apology at 11:30 a.m., in front of City Hall.

Great pic.
She looks like someone just handed her a cat turd.
Someone did. She's got her right arm wrapped around it.
haha
He didn't need to apologize. ::VOTE::
Don't even think about it Felixthecat...
I know you are itching to comment about jello pudding or something.
He may not have needed to apologize for this, but he needs to apologize for being a self-righteous, greedy dick!
That isn't new. It has something to do with being the head of a MultiMillion$ Worldwide Media Conglomerate.
(not disagreeing with you)
pudding? NO you italian peasant, I have no interest in your pudding. change your shorts and move on fat peasant.
Murdoch has socks older than the wife.
His name is Rupert, give him a break.
No, you italian peasant, I don't need to talk about your pudding, change you shorts and move on, fat peasant
"Sharpton will be discussing Murdoch's apology at 11:30 a.m., in front of City Hall."
Does City Hall rent him space by the hour? All his little dramas always wind up in front of City Hall.
is the money really worth it, Wendi?
Given her history, it's not a surprise.
Judging by the pained expression on her face, I would say that these "photo ops" with Rupert are taking it's toll...
Maybe he should apologize for flooding the streets of New York with unconscionable bullshit on a daily basis.
Asian women are quite ambitious, no?
Just as Yoko broke up the Beatles, this chick is trying to break up Rupe's media empire.
3 words. Mail order bride
She's too tall to be a mail order bride. She wouldn't fit in the UPS box.
you're doing good Mr. Murdoch.
there's hope for us all.
now back it up by firing col alan and delonas.
All I wanted was just an apology for the cartoon being completely unfunny. Not in an offensive or over-the-line kind of way. Just completely lacking effective humor. I'm offended that somebody so unfunny would be allowed to hold such a position with a major publication. Because that's some high school amateur hour shit right there.
If only Sharpton and his entourage put this much effort in the black community to clean up the violence and show kids how important education is.
And keeping grandmothers from killing their grandsons.
And keeping 10 year olds from killing their pregnant future stepmothers in cold blood. And 8 year olds from blowing away their father and his visitor with a rifle.
Oh, wait-- they weren't black, but 100% white. My bad!
oh man, that 10 yr old killing his pregnant step mom is bizarre. that kid got problems, serious problems.
he shot her in the back of her head while she was sleeping.
it was her daughter who told police.
he's being charged as an adult.
His wife looks like another gold digger.
Hmm, as the wife of a billionaire media mogul you would think that she could have found a better outfit than that.
"Update: Sharpton will be discussing Murdoch's apology at 11:30 a.m., in front of City Hall."
Al, you're ruining Fat Tuesday.
Murdoch should apologize for the cost increase on weekends and the ever shrinking page size. He should apologize for keeping Phil Mushnick on the payroll.
Why apologize for something that wasn't even racist, except in the racist's minds? Pretty stupid if you ask me.
It's a matter of perception. It's a powerful concept.
LMAO "It's a matter of perception. It's a powerful concept', damn, you are a retard
Is he going to apologize for Glenn Beck?
